The revelation that the Avengers roster will consist of the Red Hulk and Iron Maiden is puzzling, but it DOES explain the clix.

Wow, Agreed on all points.

Just read the interview at SDCC about red hulk. i think it is safe to say, that character is going to be around for a while.

Quoted for truth, brother. Every time I get a glimer of hope from Marvel they screw everthing up again.

C'mon, guys! Let's all go read our Bendis DD trades and be happy again!

can you link the full interview? thanks!

When Sentry rips Rulk in half, I'll return to reading Avengers. Until then, make mine DC... (and X-Men at $2.99 an issue)

Only if Rulk tears Sentry in half as well. Let the garbage remove the garbage.

It's like they want to ruin every character and storyline. The creators at marvel need to be retconned. Where is mephisto when you really need him?

Pshhh. The only Avengers books worth reading are Secret Avengers and Avengers Academy anyway. Bendis has never been a good fit for superheroic comics. Ultimate Spider-Man started off great but dwindled over time, and his run on Daredevil with Alex Maleev was fantastic.

Ever since Disassembled, I have slowly come to despise Bendis and the fact that he almost singlehandedly decides the creative direction of the Marvel Universe these days.

And let's face it - his much ballyhooed dialogue ain't all that great. It worked on Ultimate Spidey because it was teenagers he was writing. But when everybody he writes talks like that? It gets annoying.

But... *looks at thread title* oh, Red Hulk, Avengers keyword.

I'd imagine he'll get the Soldier keyword considering who he not-so-secretly is, Monster, Brute, uh... maybe The Offenders?

Not so sure about an Avengers keyword though.

I hrt Bendis

This is ####ing ########. This is proof that Avengers is a pile of ####... I mean time travel in the first arc? For the kid Avengers or whatever? #### THAT!

P.S. Echoing the above statement:

Read Secret Avengers and Avengers Academy, those rock, Avengers sucks big donkey balls.

Red Hulk is an interesting new character. General Ross who (SPOILERS) is Red Hulk is a boring old (should be retired) character. I want to like Red Hulk, but I absolutely hate General Ross.

Maybe they can separate them or force Ross to stay in Hulk form at all times.

That's it for me. Ross isn't very interesting. If they had made Red Hulk someone new or even anyone younger they could make some interesting reading. Red Hulk is just good to watch things get destroyed.

The whole Ross/Red Hulk thing reminds me of that JLU episode where the general from Cadmus "hulks out" and goes after the Justice League back-ups. The reason why they picked an old general is because he is uninteresting and unsympathetic.

I felt that his "Origin" story was cute though.

But yeah its alot like General eiling In General. : | (HA Word Pun)
